The current England team

Are they as bad now as the pap that we frequently put on the field in the 90's?

by HH_pink Mon 09 Feb 2009, 07:05

Yes, clearly, if not worse.

smirking

But the current team does at least have 2 world class players in KP and Fred.

by HH_pink Mon 09 Feb 2009, 07:08

There were (atleast) 2 world class players most of the time during the 90s too.

by Henry Mon 09 Feb 2009, 07:09

Gough, Stewart and Thorpe I guess. But KP and Fred are arguably great players.

by horace Mon 09 Feb 2009, 07:10

...but they do not seem to like each other...bell is the guy to really bring them all together..

Bell of course is a class batsman

by HH_pink Mon 09 Feb 2009, 07:11

World class.

Flintoff. 32.25 with the bat and 32.15 with the ball.

Sorry but to me these are not the stats of a great player.

What was it immediately post- Ashes'05?

Poms and Ozzies can only remember Flintoff's stats as 40.20 with the bat and 27.29 with the ball ...

Not that different, hmm.

horrie darling, someone need to give you a gentle bang, the needle of your gramophone player is stick in the grove of the long playing recording of your "Wind up the Poms" speech.

Yep at his age a strenuous bang would finish him off.

fair point (holds head)..won't have bell around for much longer to tease you folks about, I guess

...given our putrid form I fully expect the ashes will be close and that we will lose - hence I expect many comeuppances will be directed our way

by eowyn Mon 09 Feb 2009, 08:27

Ah, the old get in first ploy, the Greeks did that before you Romans.

I can understand why you're doing it but the Bell thing is a decidedly stale offering now.

We might have problems finding a volunteer banger though.

I'm willing to donate $50 towards getting a fleet of hookers for him, if it promises to be terminal.

Hadn't thought about seeing if Mudge was up for the job (silly me) but I said $50 towards. It'd cost quite a bit more to do it properly.

As usual, I sagefied the England team many, many months ago and you all shot me down:

Only skimmed through it, Auggie, but it looked like everyone pretty much agreed with you.

by Chivalry Augustus Mon 09 Feb 2009, 21:28

Yeah, I only looked at the first few replies but should have realised that that gay twat was just sticking up for his/her/its bummer boy Virgil.
